Ways to pirate music as convenient as Spotify? - eviltoast

The reason I gave up on MP3’s and subscribed to Spotify was because Spotify was easy. I’ve been listening “Iron Maiden - Empire of the Clouds” song every day and like a week ago, its removed. This was the last straw for me. Right now I’m trying to find “Stremio” of the music world. Can someone assist?

Key features I’m looking for:

  • Synchronization between devices
  • Offline play
  • Playlist support
  • Both desktop and mobile apps
  • Wide music library (optional if I will upload music)
  • Lyrics (optional)

Update: thanks to everyone who shared their solutions 🙏

    Music Stremio would be cool, but I think hosting it yourself is the closest you can get with music while still retaining a decent user experience :/

    I guess they could also throw a load of adblockers onto YouTube? Ublock Origin, ReVanced YT Music etc. But that isn’t really ‘piracy’ at that point if OP is purposely wanting to avoid the actual big names.

      I mean, the label doesn’t matter in the end, does it? Like, it doesn’t need.to be called Piracy to be worthwhile. If you use the big one’s servers without any limitations but aren’t paying them for it,.isn’t that “avoiding the big one’s” in a way?

        I’m not sure if OP is privacy focused, or doesn’t want their playlists tied to one service, or something like that; I’m just pulling assumptions out my arse.
